_Laurie_ Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I have this one...but I don't think it's one of the choices...oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 My original favorite when I joined SF in 2006 was the drummer so I'll stick with him just for sentiments sake (and I am a drummer as well, so it fits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars88 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 This is a question for those with adult children. My daughter is 13. When will she turn normal again? I'm trying to figure out whether it's her personality or a phase that she is going through...she's very snarky these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Oh my goodness, Mars... I have a 14-year-old son. And he's the same way! I think his brain just shut down when he turned 13 1/2. I'm waiting for the lightbulb to come back on, and for the sweet side of his personality to come back. I miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Well I'm 18, and I know I'm not "normal", so just wait it out a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 My roommates son is going to be 12 in a few months and he already has the attitude of a 17 year old. Seems kids are starting their sassiness younger and younger with each generation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars88 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 She's my oldest, and none of my friends have children this age. I ask her a question and she either pretends she doesn't hear, or she says "Stop talking to me!" On the other hand, she knows when to turn on the charm when she wants something from me. Good grief.

Rayzor Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Sounds like every kid I know. The young boy who lives here will curse a blue streak and tell his mom he doesn't need to listen to her, etc.... but when he really wants something he suddenly cuddles up to her and starts up with the "I love you mommy" and all that jazz. In the end he always wins, so he has no incentive to change his attitude. Lots of kids do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars88 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 The two younger ones are boys, and they squabble and try to destroy the house. She's the only one working on my mind! You are right about a lot of kids being this way. I do call her on her behaviour, but it would be nice not to have her snarky attitude to begin with...

Rayzor Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Mars, I know how you feel. Even though the kid here isn't mine, I've gotta listen to the fights and if I ask him for help he sometimes turns on me. It's really hard to live with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yep Mars...I've raised two girls also....and when they reach their teens, something happens to the attitude, behavior, etc....It's typical, and normal....she'll come around in time......but you need patience, lots of it.... And remember to set rules and...be consistent, and set consequences for their actions....hang in there Mars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars88 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks Laurie for the encouragement. She starts high school next year...hopefully it won't be too much of an adjustment for her. She goes to a school where the kids get pretty much all they want. She sometimes questions why she can't have this and that...I tell her she can have some things, but not EVERYTHING. Her response? "Are we poor?"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I've heard the same words from my two also....My daughter's friend got a car for graduation from her parents....My daughter of course went through that whole speel with me too.....I did not go into a speech with her, I just said "Well that's nice they can do that"....My daughter ended up saving the money from her after school job...that was two years ago and "Old Betty" that's her car is still going strong...And she takes very good care of it too.. coz she worked hard for it...and loves it!

Mars88 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 She turns 14 in March, and she can't wait to learn how to drive. I joked about giving her the Honda when she gets her license; so when I told her we were looking to find a new vehicle to replace it, she was quite alarmed. She asked: Wasn't that supposed to be my car? I agree, if they buy it themselves, they appreciate it a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 We do whatever we can for our girls....and they know that now...they are out on their own now...and doing okay...we've helped them out quite a bit...and they do appreciate it....they are finding out it's hard to budget money.....but they are learning.

_Laurie_ Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Laurie... if you're a hair-dye virgin, the best (and least expensive) idea would be to get a box of the stuff that washes out in 28 washes. That way, if the color you get (which isn't always the color the box shows) isn't something you like, it'll be gone in 3-4 weeks. And if you DO like it, then you can go get the permanent version in the same color and do it again in 3-4 weeks. But only do-it-yourself if you're going for a solid color. I tried that weave they make look so easy, and it wasn't. Thanks for all of your suggestions everyone....Shawna I took your advice....My daughter came over and did it for me.....It looks good!....

Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Laurie, so when will we see a pic of your new hair?? I'm getting ready to color mine again, probably go with a shade of reddish-brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Well SJ....I don't know.....I don't have a digital camera...maybe I can get my kids to get a pic on here for me...I have no idea on how to do that computer stuff...I know how to get on Songfacts and that's about it...
